How to work it out

  1. Gap between the values: |14 − 37| = 23
  2. Average of the values: (14 + 37) ÷ 2 = 25.5
  3. Divide the gap by the average and multiply by 100: 23 ÷ 25.5 × 100 = 90.1961%
  4. Check: Work backwards: 0.901961 × 25.5 = 23, the gap between the values.

In a spreadsheet: =ABS(14-37)/((14+37)/2)*100. Dividing by one of the values instead of their average turns it into a percentage change, which depends on which value you start from.

What the result means

37 is 23 more than 14. Measured against their average, 25.5, that gap is 90.1961%. The result is the same whichever value you name first.

Prices: if one shop charges $14 and another $37 for the same item, the prices differ by 90.1961%.

Why the average is the base

Dividing the gap of 23 by 14 gives 164.2857%, and dividing it by 37 gives 62.1622%. The average, 25.5, sits between them, so the result does not depend on which value is listed first.
